Question QUESTION: my mini schnauzer is 16 mo, 15 lbs, and has just recovered from acute pancreatitis. I have been feeding him rice mixed with boiled hamburger while he's been recovering. am now looking for a dog food that will work for his little tummy. yesterday tried a frozen raw food, 1 ts. and his tummy has growled all night. am afraid of him getting sick again.
thanks, Dar
ANSWER: Hello Dar - sure, I can help your baby with pancreatitis....
Don't do any raw for this kid, cook all meats.
Here is some help for you- I have many clients on this food and adding cooked white meats to the mix:
It is called SOJO and it is Grain - free ( the green bag) - you can find this at many pet stores or FREE shipping with this link:
Please get the green bag and mix in only cooked WHITE meats / no red meats for now... http://www.sojos.com/index.aspx?affiliate=petnurse
Dogs with pancreas problems need to eat mostly White meats and GRAIN free foods are a big plus.
FEED him 2 x per day with the SoJo mix -
In the afternoon you can offer some Dry food :
ONLY - Wellness Core - Low fat formula- REDUCED FAT formula-
Let me know if you can't find the Wellness...
I would give him only 1/4 cup per day of this dry food.
ALSO ***- Most of my doggie and cat clients take the NuVET Holistic supplement daily:
I would give him 1 NuVET wafer per day - HELPS with healing and digestion... over-all GREAT vitamin / can't buy this in any pet store-
Call 1-800-474-7044 ( TELL them you are working with Pet Nurse Marie and your pet has pancreatitis.... Give them order code 81098 - this is a VET or Pet Professional referral code)
You are looking for the NuVET Plus Wafers or Powder- http://www.nuvet.com/81098
Keep me posted - Let me know if you decide to do the SoJo home cooking mixes... ( with cooked meats, only)
QUESTION: Thanks for your fast reply. have already ordered the green Sojo and Waffers. will let you know how he does. I previously have ordered "Dr Andrew Jones" vits, minerals, etc., do you know about this brand? he's from BC, Canada, a vet. thanks again. Dar
Answer NuVET follow up? How are you doing now: How is the home-cooking going...
Let me know ?
I love to follow-up with my questions....

Wonderful - Glad you are going to try the NuVET Plus Vitamin and the SoJo Grain free dog food mix!!!! GREAT
As far as the Dr Jone's products, I don't know of him at all....( I will look him up )
I mainly work with Nature's Sunshine, NuVet, and SoJos....
There are a number of vitamins and herbs that I refer to from the Nature's Sunshine Brand...
95% of my clients take the NuVET and love the results...
Keep me posted- Go slow with the SoJo - You may even want to start out with 3 very small SoJo meals per day - and a very small snack of the Wellness Dry dog food.
It is best to feed 3 meals ( very small) per day to a dog with pancreas probems...(IF you are able to be home at the Noonish time hour )
Keep me up-dated - Offer me a progress report every 30 days to my private e-mail here:
